Program Description
Wooden balconies, historic interiors and the atmosphere of old Tenerife - Casa de los Balcones is one of the most distinctive landmarks in the historic town of La Orotava. This 17th-century mansion offers a fascinating journey into the past, giving you a glimpse of what life was like for wealthy residents of the Canary Islands centuries ago.
Casa de los Balcones, also known as Casa Méndez-Fonseca, is a beautiful example of traditional Canarian architecture, particularly famous for its intricately carved wooden balconies, from which it takes its name. Once home to wealthy families and prominent military figures, the building now serves as a museum, preserving family heirlooms, antiques and objects from bygone eras.
During your self-guided tour of the mansion, you'll explore historic rooms displaying family keepsakes, antiques and original furnishings. Each room offers an insight into the daily lives of the former residents and the traditions that have shaped Tenerife's culture over the centuries.
One of the most striking features is the inner courtyard surrounded by wooden balconies. Their beautifully carved balustrades and distinctive design create a charming setting that captures the atmosphere of a traditional Canarian mansion.
A visit to Casa de los Balcones is a wonderful opportunity to discover the history, architecture and cultural heritage of Tenerife in one of the island's most recognisable historic houses.
